, COFFEE MAKER. f v.

Applicatie-xi vfiled January 125,l 192.6. ,Serial 183,429. I 'Y i i 1 The inventionrelates to coifee'maliers, :and

its ob'ect is to )rovid'e ,im .roved anpa-v ratus for making dripf'coffee which com? prises a container in which the Water may the ground' coffee container land With the coffee-pot, so 4that Vthe 'fu'atei' Will'fjpass through the ground p coffee 1and dripv into the pot.

features hereinafter set forth and more particularly defined by claims at the vconclusion hereof.

ln the drawings: Fig. 1 is a vertical section of apparatus embodying the invention, the parts being shown in operative posit-ion. Fig. 2 is a detail section of the Water heater. Fig. 3 is a detail section yof the holder for ground coffee.

Y rEhe invention is exemplified with a coffeepot comprising a body l5 provided with the usual' discharge spout 6 and Ahandle 7.' A cylindrical Water-heater, adapted to be set on a Astove so the Water may be heated approximately to the boiling point, comprises an annular vertical Wall 8, a closed bottom 9, above the lower rim of Wall 8. The upper p end 10 of wall 9 is adapted, When inverted, to telescope into the upper end ofthe body 5 of the pot. The heater is provided With a handle 11 at one side, by which it can be manipulated and inverted. An annular shoulder 10.a is formed belowthe upper end of the heater to engage the upper rim of the body 5 of the coffee-pot, to sustain' the heater, when inverted, in Velevated position, so that its contents Will pass into the pot.y A ground coffee container, comprises a vertically extending cylindrical Wall 12 vadapted to telescope into the Water-heater, a fixed transverse perforated Wall 18 for holding' ground coffee in the upper end of the conhold the proper quantity vof coffee for the capacity of the pot. The screw-thread 145 is adapted to lock the cover on the body'of the container after the coffee has been placed therein. A cross-rod 17 is secured in rim The invention consists in theseveral novel tainer, a reduced upper rim ltabove Wall 1d to serve as' aliandle for manipulating the container when the coverl isreinoved.

The .operation of the improvedapparatus is as follows: The Watereheater Containin the proper amo unt'of Water, is set on a stove to heat it approximately tothe boiling point.n TheV cover 15 is removed frointhe coffee container,

andthe proper amount of cptiee is placed into chamber lil'a-bove thev4 perforated Wall' 13. The cover 15 is then replaced and locked on the container. 'When 'the Water hasl been' heated, the container istelescoped into the Water heater, the cylindrical Wall 12,v eX- tending to the bottom of the Water-heater. The coffee-chamber in the container Will be disposed above the Water in the heater. Next, the heater with the container therein, will be inverted, and the rim portion 10 of the heater telescoped into the upper end of Athe pot 5, and shoulder l0a Will support the heater and prevent it from dropping into the coffee-pot. The container Will be arrested by Y an annular shoulder 5"L in the pot, so .it will be suspended above the highest point reached by the infusion inthe pot. A leak-port 10b,

formed in shoulder 10, Will adm-it air slowlyV into thelieater, so it Will pass upwardly around Wall S of the heater tothe top of the water held Within thewall 12 of the container, and permit the Water to pass slowly through the coffee in chamber 12a. The

Water in the heater Willpass through the perforated `Wall 13,`seep through the coffee inthe container and drip through the'perforated cover 15 into the coffee pot, from which it will beserved. After all of the Water has dripped into the coffee pot, the

heater and ground coffee container maybe removed. l

A'cover 20 Vis providedvivith flange r21 to fit into and -close t-he top of the heater, as r shown in FigfQ.A This flange is also adapted -to fit into the lower rim of the heater, so the cover may be Aheld While the heater is inverted and While the coffee is being made,V

The same cover may as shown in Fig. 1.

also be used to close the top of the coffee v pot, When theheater and container have beenV removed and the coffee infusion is being served.

The invention is" not to be understoodas restricted tothe "details set forth, since these may be modified Within the sco e of the appended'claims, Without rdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention-" f 7. Hav-ing thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

l. The combination with a coffee pot, of a vesse'l for hot water having a cylindrical wall, a closed bottom, and an open top, the upper end of the wall being adapted, when the Vessel is inverted, to telscope and connect With'the upper end of the pot to discharge into it, and having an annular outwardly bulged shoulder indented therein, and a perforated container for ground coffee fitting into the vessel and invertible therewith and provided with a cylindrical wall extending downwardly into the vessel, said shoulder being provided with a 'leak-port extending therethrough, the port being adapted to admit air into the vessel and around said last mentioned cylindrical wall when the vessel and container are in their inverted position.

2. The combination with a coffee pot, of a vessel. for heating Water, having a cylindrical side wail, a closed bottom spaced from the lower endA of the wall, and an open top, the upper end of the wall being adapted, when the vessel is inverted, to telescope and connect with the upper end of the pot to discharge into it, Va perforated container for ground `coffee fitting into thevessel and invertible therewith so that the water Will pass into the container and drop into the pot, and a cover provided With an annular ange for fitting into the upper end of the wall when the vessel is in its normal position and for fitting yinto the lower end of the wall when thefvejssel is in its inverted position.

Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 18th day v of January, 1926.
